A new sushi bar venture hoping to satisfy your “bubble tea and noodle cravings” is coming to town.

Boba Tigers is launching its fifth branch, and its second in Kent, in Rochester High Street at the end of August.

And managers hope the new eatery will bring something different to the historic tourist hotspot.

Initially, the diner near the Ye Arrow pub car park will be a seven-day-a-week takeaway.

But if the business takes off some seating may be created in the quaint historic listed building.

Mariana Manoli, operations manager, said: “We have carried out a survey and we have found what we offer would be welcomed in Rochester.

“We are very much looking forward to opening up at the end of the month.

“We have family friends who live in the area.

“We are very excited to be coming to Rochester,”

The menu includes sushi boxes containing chicken and seafood, a wide variety of stir-fried noodles and for vegetarians, there are seaweed salads and pumpkin croquettes to name a few.

Bubble teas come in all flavours including, mango, lychee, watermelon and rose coco Nutella.

The company started about three years ago with its head office in Barkingside, Essex and also has restaurants in Romford and Seven Kings.

Boba Tigers is now looking to expand further into Kent having recently opened a branch in Cliftonville, Margate.

With its distinctive colourful branding, the business boasts “a unique dining experience”.

As Mariana explains, it offers something different from the cluster of Italian, Spanish and Asian restaurants in already in the town.

The property, opposite the Princes Hall entrance to the Corn Exchange which dates back to medieval times, has been extensively renovated in recent years.

Remarkably, a section of the ancient Roman road of Watling Street was unearthed during the conservation work.
